Google SketchUp Assessment

GoogleEarth Assessment Reflection **

All pictures were found on Google Images- we'd like to acknowledge those used images. I found the project’s instructions quite unclear and didn’t fully understand what was needed. We ran into a lot of technical-difficulties as we had never used Voicethread or GoogleEarth before. Most of the technical glitches came up with the laptops, but after a few visits to ISS and some work at home, we managed to finish our project. ** We made our choices based on our knowledge of the places and if we had visited or showed interest in them. One of the issues that came up is that we didn’t have time to think our choices through- we like the places we chose- but we didn’t think them through thoroughly as to be able to choose the place you want, you have to be quicker than the other groups, waiting to write down their places. ** My partner and I are pretty friendly with each other so we were happy to be working together. I think my partner had most of the work at the start of the project as it was on her laptop, but when her laptop posed problems, we had to switch to mine and so the work-load switched, too. I feel this made the work fairly even and was a lesson to us both that in future, try to create a more balanced and systematic way of doing things. ** As I said in the previous question, at the start of the project my partner probably did more work as it was on her laptop, though at the end we had to switch to mine after technical difficulties posed a problem and I think the work-load shifted, too as I then had to do the project in my own time to get it done. ** We learnt a lot about the programs we used and learnt how to use many of the tools associated with the programs. The bad things were however, the project was pretty confusing and not much help was provided. I feel generally this project was a great introduction but should probably have been given to a class used to using Voicethread. **

 * __What made you chose the places and were there any issues regarding the choices?__
 * __How well did you work with your partner?__
 * __Did you pull your weight or was the work one-sided?__

 * GIMP 2 Assessment Poster **


 * This is a poster displaying my chosen aspect of cyber-safety using a program called GIMP 2. I have never used this program before so I’ve had a fun experience experimenting with the unfamiliar tools and effects you can use on GIMP 2. I hope you like my poster- feel free to post comments about it! ****J **
